Description:

This project contains 446 synthetic storms used in an assessing storm surge risk on the Texas coast. The wind and pressure files are used as input to the ADCIRC model to develop storm surge inundation maps. The results are used to determine flood insurance risk categories, which determine whether or not property falls under the federal flood insurance program.

Description:

This simulation is a collection of 446 ADCIRC storm surge simulations for synthetic storms in the Gulf of Mexico. The output includes both water elevation and velocity time-series. The data could be used for structural impacts, flood risk studies, environmental impacts, disease vectors, among other uses. The total size of the output is on the order of a few terabytes - and provides a wealth of training data for future machine learning applications.
